The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

Originally suppressed by the Immortal Ancient World and rendered silent like the Wheel of Reincarnation, the Bell Soul Shield began to emit a faint glow after Shi Yi took it out and placed it in his palm.

And, as time goes by, it grows brighter and brighter, like a beacon rising in the darkness.

Shi Yi felt a warm sensation in his palm, and his vital energy involuntarily surged into the Soul-Binding Shield.

He did not cut off the flow of vital energy, but let it develop as it pleased, wanting to see what the final result would be.

The vessel is an extension of the path of cultivation, a carrier of the path. The Bell of No End is the same. It represents the most powerful path cultivated by the Immortal King of No End - the Way of Time. It is only natural that its bell soul appears in the world of time and generates a response. Moreover, this world is an opportunity left to future generations by the powerful beings of the Immortal Ancient Era, and it is highly likely that it was left by the Immortal King of No End.

Shi Yi's gamble paid off. The Zhonghun Small Shield burst forth with blazing light, each strand and wisp resembling a long river of time, a vast ancient history, recording the rise and fall of all things in ancient eras.

Shi Yi's double pupils shone brightly as he gazed upon these long rivers. He saw many momentous events, and witnessed the rise of one powerful figure after another, looking down upon the past and present...

"when!"

A bell tolled, filled with sorrow and helplessness, accompanied by a shower of blood. Shi Yi knew that this was the bell tolling at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, symbolizing the end of the Immortal Ancient Era.

This is not the end. The Great Emperor Wushi from the future gathered the Soul of Zhong, causing it to undergo a change, making it even more mysterious and unpredictable than in its heyday.

Past, present, and future—these are topics that beings who cultivate the Way of Time cannot avoid.

Of the three time periods—present, ancient, and future—the future is the most difficult to grasp. Even a powerful immortal like the Boundless Immortal King cannot see it clearly. At most, he can see more than others and occasionally catch a glimpse of it, but he can never see the whole picture.

If he could see the future, the ending of the Immortal Ancient Era might have been rewritten.

But now, Wushi has made a move in the future to reunite the souls, which, to some extent, forms a small closed loop.

The so-called closed loop is the integration of the past, present, and future. If this can be achieved in the realm of time, the combat power would be unimaginable.

The Crimson King, who strangles future prodigies across the river of time, is known as the Beast of Time. He claims that time is just a ring in his eyes, but this is nothing but boasting. If he really had such power, why would he need the support of the kings behind him?
At this moment, the Soul-Binding Shield released streams of time, which gathered around Shi Yi like silk threads, intersecting horizontally and vertically to form a Time Robe.

"This……"

Shi Yi was taken aback. This Taoist robe was truly amazing. Every thread was a piece of ancient history. Wearing it, Shi Yi's entire demeanor changed. He was like an emperor of the realm of time, sitting high above the river of time, looking down on the years.

He felt as if he were ascending, not in terms of height in the three-dimensional world, but in terms of dimensionality, as if he had broken free from the constraints of the power of time and transcended it, standing high above.

Finally, Shi Yi arrived at a realm where he could overlook the entire world of time.

He looked down and saw a truly breathtaking scene.

The turbulent river of time beneath my feet is connected end to end, without beginning or end, like a bracelet.

At this moment, Shi Yi had a sudden realization. This could be called a closed loop, or it could be interpreted as a cycle, or even other interpretations. In short, the way of time is fascinating.

However, he knew in his heart that cultivating only the Great Dao of Time might not be enough to reach the highest realm, because the Dao of Time does not exist in isolation; it is intertwined with, restricts, and depends on some other laws.

The most obvious one is the power of cause and effect. Those who defy the laws of time will be punished by the power of cause and effect and pay an extremely heavy price. Correspondingly, their fate will also undergo earth-shattering changes.

Ye Qingxian, who originally possessed the potential to become an Immortal Emperor, suffered karmic retribution and her fate plummeted to a low point due to her frequent travels between ancient and modern times as a communication bridge between Shi Hao and Ye Fan.

Besides cause and effect and destiny, the way of time is also related to the way of space. Since ancient times, there has been talk of time and space, and time and space are inseparable.

Thinking about all this, Shi Yi suddenly understood the meaning of the four symbols inside his body.

No wonder these four symbols could help him conceal his form and aura, with an effect even stronger than those famous concealment techniques. He could also use them to divine good or bad fortune and foresee the vague future.

Upon arriving in the world of time, one of the four symbols resonated with the other; needless to say, this symbol represented the Way of Time.

If nothing unexpected happens, the other three represent cause and effect, fate, and space, respectively.

They all fell from the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, and that invisible ocean was formed by these four forces.

"The Great Way of Time describes the passage and changes of time, while the Great Way of Space involves the form and distribution of space. Together, they construct the spacetime framework of the universe."

The Way of Cause and Effect reveals the causal relationships between things, interacting with the Law of Time to jointly determine the order and outcome of events. The Way of Destiny, on the other hand, involves the foreknowledge and arrangement of fate, influencing the trajectory and outcome of events along with the Way of Time. Shi Yi murmured to himself, having grasped the connection between the four great paths.

The Great Daos of Time and Space are relatively easy to understand. Although cultivation is difficult, many cultivators still choose these two paths. Moreover, many beings possess extremely strong talents in these areas. However, the Great Daos of Cause and Effect and Destiny are different. They are mysterious and profound. Paths involving these two areas are extremely difficult, and it is easy to suffer backlash and die suddenly. It is difficult to have a good end. Even some beings who are born with spiritual abilities also have many limitations, and their final fate is not very good.

Now, Shi Yi has come to a crossroads in his destiny. Four symbols have fallen from the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, foreshadowing something in the dark. It is difficult for him not to choose one of these paths.

“Logically speaking, the path of reincarnation is also related to the Great Dao of Time, however, this path has a limited upper limit,” Shi Yi murmured, naturally knowing the reason.

There is a path of reincarnation in this world, the path walked by the terminally ill master of the bronze coffin. It has become the dwelling place of a strange force. Those who cultivate the Great Dao of Reincarnation to a high level will inevitably have to go around that place, lest they attract a calamity.

At this moment, Shi Yi, dressed in a time-themed Taoist robe, stood atop the Time World, overlooking the Time Ring below. With this robe, he could freely roam the Time River Ring, the best place for him to ignite his divine fire.

With a thought, he plummeted downwards and soon disappeared into the river.

Shi Yi sat cross-legged on the river, drifting with the current from the point of entry, with more than half of his body submerged in the water.

He then began his journey to godhood.

A Dao flower appeared, floating above Shi Yi's head. It was radiant and crystal clear, filled with a hazy mist, containing countless fragments of time, seemingly leading to an unpredictable future.

This is the sacred object that Shi Yi used to ignite the divine fire this time. It comes from the number one spiritual root in the desolate region and is a Dao flower on the number one spiritual root.

That herb was not as simple as people imagined. It was related to an extremely terrifying being. Its original form was divided into six parts, and the first spiritual root of the desolate region was only one of them. Each part contained an avatar of that being. He hid within the spiritual root, drifting through the heavens and comprehending all the myriad paths. No matter how big or small, it would be imprinted on the body.

That was a being comparable to legendary creatures like butchers, funeral masters, and chicken farmers. How could the great medicine inhabited by his avatar be an ordinary thing?
In particular, the one Shi Yi obtained was the third one from the first spiritual root in the desolate region, which mysteriously represented the future. Therefore, he called this Dao flower the Flower of the Future. When he first obtained it, it resonated with his forbidden sea of ​​suffering. Now, whether it is truly compatible and feasible, we still have to try to know.

He took a deep breath and began to ignite the divine fire. He had already deduced that Shi Yi's journey with the divine fire was related to the forbidden sea of ​​suffering above the cave, which held too many secrets.

Back then, Shi Yi paid a huge price to break through that barrier and allow it to project some power. Now that he is about to become a god, he naturally wants to unlock it further.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Shi Yi's ten star-shaped grotto-heavens emerged. Each one was enormous and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. In particular, the "spirits" inhabiting the ten grotto-heavens had undergone a qualitative transformation, which made his grotto-heaven realm reach a new level. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the strongest in history.

"boom!"

With a thought, Shi Yi instantly connected the ten grotto-heavens, transforming them into a divine ring that radiated dazzling light.

A grand aura swept over us, as if forming a vast immortal realm, filled with various auspicious lights and celestial glows. We could vaguely see ten tall figures standing there, each one incredibly powerful.

"Crash!"

The sound of waves came from above the grotto-heaven ring, as if a vast and boundless ocean lay there, with the tide rising and falling, and the waves never ceasing.

That is the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, formed by the convergence of forces such as time, cause and effect, destiny, and space, and is extremely mysterious.

Back then, after Shi Yi activated it, four symbols fell down, which greatly helped him. At the same time, this was also the starting point and omen of his future path.

At this moment, Shi Yi was no longer satisfied with simply connecting with it; he wanted to go further and truly get involved.

Since it is a forbidden sea of ​​suffering, if one wishes to enter it and struggle to cross it, one must have a raft to ferry one across the world.

The flower of the future that Shi Yi prepared was the best raft to cross the world.

Under Shi Yi's control, the Future Flower landed in the spot where his primordial spirit sat, beginning to merge with his soul. Later, it would merge with his physical body. Only in this way could it leave its unique life imprint within him.

This process took quite a while, a full month, before the flowers would truly belong to him.

At this moment, Shi Yi, who was one with the Dao flower, had a very strange feeling. He seemed to hear the sound of flowing water from the void. This was not the visible river of time in the world of time, but the real river of time.

In the past, only extremely powerful True Immortals could even begin to explore this long river. Now, Shi Yi, relying on the Future Flower, has achieved this at the Great Perfection of the Venerable Realm. It has to be said that this is a miracle.

Having completed his fusion with the Dao Flower, Shi Yi began to forge the raft for crossing the world. The Future Flower was only one part of it; others were also needed.

Although there was a connection between the Dao Flower and the Forbidden Sea of ​​Bitterness, it was impossible to even get close to it by throwing it directly into the Forbidden Sea of ​​Bitterness. That vast ocean was too mysterious, and it was as difficult as ascending to heaven to truly venture into it.

At this moment, the symbol representing the power of time played a significant role. Under Shi Yi's control, a symbol shrouded in mysterious mist slowly approached the Future Flower and then merged into it, as if they were perfectly blended.

Suddenly, many patterns appeared on the Future Flower, rippling with the passage of time. Shi Yi felt that his connection with the Forbidden Sea of ​​Bitterness had deepened.

That symbol had fallen from the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, and now it had become Shi Yi's guide.

The future flower, who was previously unable to approach the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, now has a way to connect with it.

However, it is still very difficult.

Shi Yi had a premonition that if he wanted this flower to truly descend upon that almost illusory forbidden ocean, he would have to pay an extremely terrible price.

You should know that he almost died back then. If it weren't for the substitute item, he probably would have already perished.

However, he had no way out.

The Future Flower has merged with his soul and body, containing his essence and spirit. Only by letting the Future Flower descend into the Forbidden Sea of ​​Bitterness can the divine fire be ignited and step into the divine realm.

"here we go."

Shi Yi muttered to himself, his expression extremely solemn. For him, the real test had only just begun.

This is an unconventional path to godhood, involving the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, a realm defying the heavens. If successful, it will inevitably attract strange occurrences, especially since this is the environment of the ancient immortal era, which is more prone to bizarre changes than the outside world.

Shi Yi had to be wary of this.

Of course, the most important thing is to get through the current difficulties first.

After taking a deep breath, Shi Yi controlled the Future Flower to move towards the Forbidden Sea of ​​Bitterness. As if a gentle breeze was blowing, the Future Flower slowly drifted towards the Divine Ring of the Cave Heaven.

He was glowing, and together with the Divine Ring of the Cave Heaven, he exerted his power on the Future Flower, like two giant hands lifting it up and pushing it into the forbidden ocean.

During this process, Shi Yi encountered terrifying resistance, even more so than when he first entered the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

"Boom!"

As the Future Flower gradually approached that Sea of ​​Bitterness, a thunderous sound suddenly resounded in the void surrounding Shi Yi.

Strands of crimson lightning descended from the sky, landing beside Shi Yi, even temporarily severing the Time River Ring—a terrifying sight that was suffocating.

Shi Yi gasped. This path was far too terrifying. To become a god was already so difficult. A single bolt of lightning could easily obliterate him.

Fortunately, with the Time Robe provided by the Soul-Binding Shield and the support of the Time River Ring Field, the power of this calamity was reduced to a level that wouldn't instantly kill Shi Yi.

Even so, Shi Yi was not in good shape. The power of time, carrying the aura of destruction, invaded his body, engulfing his soul, his limbs, and every inch of his flesh...

In the time it takes to breathe, his face aged decades, transforming him from a spirited young man into a middle-aged man.
